    Companion Episode Original Sin

    Companion Episode Original Sin

    The Showmax Original documentary, Original Sin: My Son The Killer is a tragic and fascinating deep dive into the murder of Andrea Venter. In addition to the themes of domestic violence, stalking, and intimate partner murder, the documentary also explores a mother's pain in acknowledging the role she may have played in her son's crime and her own tragic past.

    Companion Episode: Tracking Thabo Bester

    The Showmax Original Tracking Thabo Bester took viewers behind the public furore around an escaped convict and the glamourous doctor who allegedly aided him. In this companion podcast, I speak with two of the contributors to this compelling docuseries (well, three, if you count me...) to take a deeper dive into some of the unanswered questions.

    Episode 155 The Murder of Sonia Schwarz

    Episode 155 The Murder of Sonia Schwarz

    In 1997, a shocking intimate partner murder shook the country. The victim had feared for her life and then been killed with an axe in her own home. The offender was known, but it would be the outcome of the case that, even today, is questionable.

    Introducing the "So What?" Podcast

    Introducing the "So What?" Podcast

    Introducing the "So What?" podcast

    If I say “Ruda Landman” I’m pretty sure that for most South Africans the Carte Blanche music and Sunday nights come to mind. For years, Ruda was, along with her colleagues at Carte Blanche, the source of hot topic reporting and important insights, and just because she’s no longer on the show, doesn’t mean that incredible journalistic brain has stopped assessing the world in its unique way. Considering her husband JP Landman is political economic analyst, I’m pretty sure the big issue delving continues to this day in the Landman home. Imagine what that dinner table conversation is like! Well, the Landmans thought their dinner table conversations were pretty interesting too, so they started recording them, and now, it’s a podcast!

    https://open.spotify.com/show/1myODvk0K0uq92pZxX5NJR

    The first 11 episodes were literally recorded around their dinner table so you’ll hear a little difference in the audio quality when they move into studio conditions, but the conversations and insights are incredible throughout. I highly recommend finding the So What podcast wherever you listen to True Crime South Africa and get that familiar voice back into your ears.

Easy and helpful! ,

Margie Gander

I look forward to this weekly podcast for its well researched content and insightful story telling. Often a cautionary tale told but never with judgement. Thank you for telling these stories with compassion for the victims, and for reminding us of the injustice done to them and their loved ones.

Slow

Pace of storytelling extremely slow, emotionless and boring. Sounds like it’s been read of a script. Unfortunate, since I think it could be interesting true crime stories

Excellent

Thank you for having a heart for the victims and their families. I truly look forward to your podcast each week - not because of the horror that these families must endure, but because you show real empathy for the victims and their families, but you still ensure that the offender is held accountable for their actions. Thank you for this show.
